WinemakingRigorous grape sorting by hand on conveyor belt. Whole bunch gentle yet long pressing. Fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel tank and French oak barrels* of 225 and 500 lt. The barrel-fermented wine stays in contact with the lees for 8 months with gentle stirring when necessary, during the first couple of months. ( * Barrels: 10% new (light toast) – 90% 2nd and 3rd use )

Tasting NoteComplex nose with aromas of citrus zest -orange and lemon-, as well as honey, tropical fruits, and vanilla. Harmoniously integrated barrel offering structure and rich mouthfeel. Long aftertaste.
